They tell me it only gets harder but if all of you contribute a little it should actually become easier. We did however have a slight hiccup with the printing of the information sheets but that problem has now been sorted. I formulate these information sheets and to make sure that the information on them is correct is something that I cannot achieve all on my own. I am appealing to you all again to help me with information on the fishes that you keep, especially any that you may be breeding. Once I have completed a dossier on a species, I can then build up a complete information sheet. Any photographs or breeding information submit­ ted and used will be accredited to the photographer or breeder.

At that time it were still subsadult fish, and the differences between the two species were not as striking. The only difference was that the S. galinae looked somewhat lighter than the other fish. But at that time we thought that this was the result of stress during the transport- the colours may change through that slightly. But during the growth of both species the differences become more and more striking . The body of S. gali­ nae was rather massive, but the head remained small and little more flat at the tip of mouth. The "sailfin" dor­ sal was not directed as directly to the top as in the other species and the last ray was somewhat longer and "looked" downward . The caudal fin shows the large serrations typical for the species. The pectoral fin muscles were very strong so that the catfish could hold against strong current.

Commended by Ministry of Climate and Environment. Chapter 1 - Purpose and scope 1. Purpose The purpose of this Regulation is to conserve natural wild species which are, or may become, threatened with extinction as the result of trade. 2. Objective scope This Regulation concerns the import, export and re-export of specimens, alive or dead, of animal and plant species cited in Annex 1. Re-export shall mean export of any specimen that has previously been introduced into the Regulation area. This Regulation also concerns domestic transfer and possession of specimens, alive or dead, of animal and plant species cited in Annex 1. The first and second subparagraphs also concern parts of products that are prepared from or declared as prepared from such species. Hunting trophies are also considered to be dead specimens/ products. Hunting trophy means the whole or recognisable parts of animals, either raw, processed or produced. The first, second and third subparagraphs also concern hybrids.

Corresponding author: Marcus Vinícius Domingues ([email protected]) http://zoobank.org/50B1FC30-CE7C-44CC-B448-0775BE6CB10A ABSTRACT. Two new monogenoidean species of Unilatus Mizelle & Kritsky, 1967 found in the gills of loricariids in the Lower Xingu-Iriri rivers are described: Unilatus humboldtii sp. nov. from Baryancistrus niveatus (Castelnau, 1855), Panaque armbrusteri Lujan, Hidalgo & Stewart, 2010, Pseudacanthicus sp. (type-host), and Scobinancistrus aureatus Burgess, 1994; and Unilatus luciarappae sp. nov. from P. armbrusteri. Unilatus humboldtii sp. nov. is distinguished from other congeneric species due to its anterior anchor with well-developed superficial root with depressed or truncated distal portion, and inconspicuous or reduced deep root; anterior bar with posteromedial projection; hooks of pair 1 with dilated shaft comprising 2/3 of the hook length; spiraled male copulatory organ with approximately 16–18 counterclockwise loops. Unilatus luciarappae sp. nov. is characterized by having anterior anchor with well-developed superficial root and reduced deep root, slightly curved shaft, elongated, slightly curved, and tapered point; spiraled MCO with approximately 18–19 counterclockwise loops, with median distal bulbous portion and remaining portion tapered and elongated, comprising 1/4 of the body length; and accessory piece comprising approximately 2/3 of the MCO length.

  • Year of the Catfish – Plecos
    YYeeaarr ooff tthhee CCaattffiisshh A monthly column about Catfish Plecos (or more properly, Loricariidae) by Derek P.S. Tustin hen you mention catfish to an aquarist, they don’t usually think specifically of W plecos because the first image that pops to mind is invariably the red-tail catfish, or maybe one of the talking catfish. In fact most aquarists, while knowing that plecos are in fact catfish, think of plecos as belonging to their own group. However, plecos are most definitely catfish, and are probably the most popular group with aquarists. Hypostomus plecostomus But what is a pleco? First off, a pleco, that is Hypostomus plecostomus, is properly a pleco, but all other species of Loricariidae, while called plecos, properly aren’t. Confused? Okay, a bit of history… the first Loricariidae catfish to be imported and become popular in the aquarium hobby was the aforementioned Hypostomus plecostomus. The hobby being what it is, H. Plecostomus quickly became known as a “pleco”. But as more species of Loricariidae catfish were discovered and started to be imported, exporters knew that importers and aquarium stores would recognize the name “pleco” and accordingly attached it to the newly exported species even though they weren’t H. plecostomus. So, accepting that we erroneously call most Loricariidae fish “plecos”, we’ll use the term for convenience. All plecos belong to the family Loricariidae, but most people don’t realize just how sexy that name is… What, you don’t believe me? In Latin “lorica”, the root of the family name, means “corselet”. The modern meaning of corselet is a type of undergarment sharing elements of both a girdle and a bra (not to be confused with a corset, which is a corselet with a firm back and usually fastened with laces).

Very little is known about the ecophysiological aspects of Porifera (sponges) from Antarctica and North Atlantic, even though they are keystone components of these habitats. Being the earliest diverging metazoan lineage, sponges also play a fundamental role in our understanding of animal evolution. The main focus of this thesis was to study several aspects of the reproduction of sponges from the Antarctic shallow waters and the North Atlantic deep-sea sponge grounds and to describe the molecular toolkit that regulates their gametogenesis from an evolutionary perspective. In paper I, the reproductive strategy of six demosponge species commonly found in the shallow waters of Antarctica was examined with histological analyses.
